Still pondering what to do about winter wheels and tyres tbh

Yup, you deffinatley dont want to ruin those rims!!

Personally, i couldnt bear the sight of bare steel wheels, putting hub caps on only cheapened the look of my golf, and alloys can be ridiculously expensive! Although with saying that, having a seperate set of wheels/tyres does mean you dont have to pay £40+ twice a year to swap tyres onto rims, also shortens the sidewall life so im told! I was advised to go for the smallest rim that will fit the car, to increase the size of the sidewall for the snow to stick to. i believe the smallest you can fit on the 135i is a 17" rim

Whats everyone else doing?
